There are never enough L Word quizzes — that is an unalienable lesbian truth. This quiz will let you know what hot Los Angeles Sapphic babe you are — though you probably already have some idea, considering this has been on our collective lesbian mind for over 10 years.
When you were a kid, did you ever take a Harry Potter quiz, and get Hufflepuff, and be disappointed AF because lowkey everyone knows Hufflepuff is lame? Then you’d take it again and purposely manipulate your answers, hoping to get Gryffindor? And then you’d still get Hufflepuff. Yeah, that’s me but with L Word quizzes and Jenny. But now I just let my crazy flag fly. Anyway, please enjoy this quiz that will reveal the inter-workings of your lesbian soul. Keep track of your answers, then refer to the list at the end.

Mostly ‘A’- you’re an Alice!
You are hilarious, quirky, and creative. You have an irresistible charm and wit. You are going to wow your lady on your winter date with your unique date spot ideas and the extravagant ways you tell stories. Just be careful not to over-perform– you might come off a little self-absorbed. And at you’re core, you’re quite the opposite. You are v sensitive and empathetic, so show it! Just don’t wear that weird hat. You know the one I’m talking about.
Mostly ‘B’- you’re a Shane!
Congrats, you’re f*cking hot! You’re also a little bit of an asshole. This is not the way to score a winter bae. It’s cuffing season, girl! You need to try a little bit harder than just looking good without makeup in menswear. I know, to tie you down, you’re gonna need an intergalactically hot girl like Carmen. But even girls as hot as Carmen aren’t gonna put up with your BS. Grow up and take a lady out for a nice dinner. <3
Mostly ‘C’- you’re a Dana!
Perhaps the most universally loved character on The L Word, that’s you! Ladies just can’t resist your genuine, awkward charm. You are upfront about being an anxious babe, and chicks dig that. When you fall, you fall hard. You have open communication and real and raw relationships thanks to being your true self. You are most likely to get wifed up this winter season. Just careful not to fall for a Tonya.
Mostly ‘D’- you’re a Jenny!
Perhaps the most universally hated character on The L Word, that’s you! (And me.) You are a tad self- absorbed and unstable, it’s true, but you also have an undeniable allure. You are unapologetically imperfect, which in turn, makes you sexy AF. You’ll do anything for your art, like get your heartbroken this winter season when your date leaves you for being a Jenny. It’s okay, girl. We can get drinks and wear stockings and talk about how ~tortured~ we are.
Mostly ‘E’- you’re a Bette!
You are the hot power babe! You have control issues, but I’m sure you already knew that. You really know how to impress a lady and show her the finer things in life. Rather than a dive bar, you go the 5-star restaurant route. Rather than a craft fair, you go the museum route. Some of the art is super weird and your bae pretends to get it to impress you even though they are thinking I could’ve made that. You are one classy, intellectual woman– who looks f*cking hot in a suit. This Jenny Schecter babe wants to date you.
